“The g-forces increased and I wasn't able to continue to hold the camera against the window, so I had to lay it back against my chest, but still continued to photograph the re-entry until there was no more unusual visual effects of the energy in the atmosphere. And it was very comforting to understand that the people in Houston, the controllers, had very high confidence that we were on the right path.” PeopleStillsAbleEnergyForcePathEffectsWindowCamerasLaysPhotographAtmosphereVisualsChestsUnusualComfortingEntryRight PathHoustonControllersVisual EffectsRe EntryG Force Author:Buzz Aldrin
“In Formula 1, the neck is really important. There's a lot of force that's going to your head. We also have a helmet and it's not that light. When it's all about g-force, all of that extra weight in the helmet compounds and puts more and more pressure. To be able to maintain your head in a straight position - especially around the corners and while braking - you need to have strong neck. To train that, it's difficult.” NeedsImportantLightAbleStrongForceDifficultPositionWeightPressureTrainCornersExtrasNecksFormulasCompoundsHelmetFormula 1G Force Author:Valtteri Bottas

“The connection of the car to the driver is the seat. You are strapped in tightly in it. On the motorcycle, you can move around. The G-forces feel different.

“To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car, you have to be in it. When you're driving a 750hp machine at 320km/h, the noise and the vibrations are incredible. The G-force when you take big corners is like someone trying to rip your head off. You hit the brakes, and it feels as if the skin is being pulled off your body.” IfsFeelsTryingBodyBigsForceCarSkinsMachinesIncrediblesCornersYour BodyDrivingNoiseIntensityRipVibrationsBrakeG Force Author:Jenson Button
